not surprised, crowd will be 40% buckeye for the game this year

TCU ending a drive on downs for the 4th time today.

4 catches 96 yards for Thurman

That is why I don't get people being hung up on money, NIL, transfers etc.

Watch that, and if you were a fan of W&M watching it live...you going to tell me that NIL is on your mind?

Come on. It's still bat shit crazy fun.

Same reason I never liked the NFL that much: it's almost purely business. There isn't the same commitment and love for the university that there used to be, and it's harder to be invested in the stories of mercenaries. There's still entertainment to the game, but it's lost most of its soul

 

[Telekinesis]

Horrible spot.

 

[buckeyemania11]

TCU is not a good football team

FCS has had some crazy good games so far. Went with my brother in law to to Cal Poly game (our alma mater) last night and were treated to this ending

I watched the whole game and it was an excellent game from start to finish. My wife's two brothers and sister in laws all graduated from SLO.

My 2 real sleepers for this years playoffs are UVA and BYU. I think both of those teams play great Defense and by the end of the year the QBs will be difference makers in close games

 

[Bestbuck36]

I can't see USC covering that 37 points today against SJSU. The Defense U watched last year needed a complete overhaul and SJSU were at least respectable. 50-14 could happen but I guess 45-20

shit if it's above 40% I'd be absolutely shocked....

 

[Buckeyefrankmp]

Just turned on the game during the break before the kickoff. Watched the kickoff and now have to sit through another set of commercials. Come on. Do better.

San Jose sucks. It's going to be 28-0 at halftime here in a second....
